    Chickens as pets???

    You don't realize how much you treat your chickens as pets until you visit another "farm" and their chickens HATE you! I don't have a farm by any stretch of the word. I have a nice coop out back that houses my 14 chickens and 2 baby quail. I have had all of my chickens since a few days old and...

    Injured 4mo old chick- looks like it was scalped :(

    I have 14 chickens, 6 RIR's that are fully grown and in the main part of the coop. 6 BR's that are about 4 months old in a sectioned off area of the coop and 2 small BO's that are in another area. I tried moving the BR's with the RIR's not too long ago and it was scary so we keep them separate...

    MORE chickens!

    So I stopped to get feed today and ended up coming home with 2 more chicks (Buff Orpington's) and 2 quail. Sent my husband a text that said "I love you...." and waited.... He thinks I'm nuts but does think they are super cute! Up to 14 chickens and 2 quail now :)

    Well, the chicken math caught up with us!

    That's right, we added 6 more pullets to our flock yesterday! 6 day old Barred Rocks. I'm super excited, but definitely not as excited as the kids!! My son (almost 4) was taking pictures of them all night long :)

    year old hens suddenly not roosting at night??

    My girls (6 of them, all RIR's) are about a year old now and have been very healthy. They are eating, drinking and pooping normally but don't seem to be roosting at night... they were all huddled in a corner last night (They aren't cold, I'm in Fl and it was like 70-something last night)...

    Palm Bay Florida....

    I have read a few different things; you can't have chickens at all, that you can as long as they are merely pets..... etc. Does anyone else on BYC live in PB and have chickens? Have you had any issues? Is it legal or not? Thanks in advance :)

    My husband must love me!

    So I've always wanted chickens. Always asked for them. Never really had the space or time to care for them and hadn't convinced my husband that it was a good idea. My Aunt has chickens and we happened to visit her recently. My husband and I were treated to a lovely breakfast of fresh eggs and...

    Moving outdoors in the Florida heat?

    I know this gets asked a million times and I think I've read them all! But here in Fl, it's hot, already! Like mid 80's and high 60's at night. I'm worried about them being too hot. My chicks are about 2 weeks old, Red Sex links, 6 of them. I have an enclosed coop, predator proof, and was...
